Dear Schleyer Family,
I had the pleasure of being with your son everyday two years ago - Ryan was in the late shuttle group that waited with me after school (I am an aide at the ECEC). Ryan was so full of energy and playfulness. I never saw him without a smile on his face! He was such a wonderful boy with a twinkle in his eye (I thought a look of adventurousness best described it!). Every time I saw him after that year he never failed to greet me with a smile! I pray for comfort for your family and hope all your wonderful memories of Ryan will help ease your pain as you grieve. You were truly blessed and we were blessed having known him.

Connie

April 14, 2011

May the love of Ryan stay always wrapped around your family and help to bring smiles for the wonderful memories you made with him. I know the pain of losing a child and want to extend my deepest sorrow to your family...If you need for the future there are many web sites that can connect you with others walking this road and they will help with all the curves along the way...You can contact me thru e-mail when you need or are [email protected] and love to you all....

April 14, 2011

To the Schleyer Family: I do not know what to say other than your family is in our prayers. Losing a child is not the natural life chain, but for some reason God wanted His angel in heaven with Him, to look down on your family and protect you. There are no other words I can think of, but May God keep you in His heart during this time and always. The Ziccardi Family from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Christina Ziccardi, my daughter, is a teacher at Hammonton)

THE Angels above needed an “All-Star” baseball player for their team in Heaven. They looked upon the earth to search for the “All-Star” that could lead the Angels in Heaven to victory. They asked the coach Lord Jesus, but whom is worthy of this vacancy we have Lord? He must be excellent and kind and caring, he must compassionate and loving and sharing, HE MUST BE PERFECT!... Lord who can fill this void? The Lord Jesus answered them, “I know just the boy”. May the relatives of Ryan find peace in this time of sorrow, may they feel the power of the Holy Spirit upon them during this difficult time.

To the Schleyer family:

(I'm originally from Pleasantville.)
I don't know you nor do I know what the tragedy was that took Ryan but I send my heartfelt sympathy to you in losing him. I've never had any children (he could be my grandson) but I do know that there is no pain like what you are going through now. Ryan is in the arms of Jesus and is your angel watching over you all. Someday you'll know the joy of being with him again but until then, may God bless and comfort you with your wonderful memories.

I am truly sorry for your loss and for our loss too. Ryan was a special boy, I was his lunch aid in 1st grade and used to tease him about putting ranch dressing on his pizza, but before you knew it all the kids were doing it. He was a great kid and a real leader, all the boys and GIRLS loved him. In recent years I would see him at the WES where I work now and he would always great me with a big smile and a hug, it always made my day! Our thoughts and prayers are with your family now and always!
